Sharpton and others like him are convinced that they can bring enough pressure on Obama & Holder to ignore the Law, ignore the trial by jury & the verdict ....... just because they don't like the verdict.
OMG, Al is one of the BIGGEST racists spewing filth on a daily basis, and yet he thinks he's ok to do that?
They said that in Fl, if Zimmerman wanted to, he could block the civil trial and force Martin's parents to pay his atty fees.

They don't like the verdict but more importantly there is more money for Sharpton if it continues. He'll have to look for other ways to race bait. He makes a mockery of the designation “Reverend.
There is a major problem with Sharptons race baiting. The FBI has already investigated and found that Zimmerman did not violate Martin's civil rights.
Any other investigation will be politically motivated
If Sharpton wants to instigate change, then try addressing the tragedy of black on black crime. Change from within, and find out why so many promising young black men are being killed on a daily basis.
Stop with this tired, worn out line. It's obvious you know little *about* black on black crime. Otherwise, you would realize the foolishness of your statement.
Why bother with a trial? We should have just consulted with Al Sharpton, as to what he wanted. He said he wanted a trial, but now, that was not enough.
The issue is that this is not a civil rights issue, it was two idiots who met, Trayvon was not a budding Harvard scholar, nor was Zimmerman. The only note in this mess is that they were different colors.
Al, give it up. The civil rights days are over. Don't make the actions of Zimmerman and Martin destroy the work of MLK, who would have seen this for what it was... An isolated event, not worth this escalation. Every young black man in the United States is not gunned down for taking a walk. This is not a large scale event.
While that may be true, many of them ARE stereotyped and deemed dangerous. To deny this is being intellectually dishonest.
Rather than tell young black men to pull up their pants, talk proper and say "yes, ma'am", "no, sir", how about you work on changing the hearts and minds of people who think these negative thoughts? Why should young black men have to change who they are and how they dress because some folks don't like it?
If anyone is serious about improving race relations in America, there should be an immediate boycott of MSNBC until they remove this racist piece of garbage from their nightly programming. He single handedly sets this country at odds with one another.
Don't forget to add NBC to this. They are both going down the toilet and are failed networks.

I know you think you're showing how ridiculous Sharpton is, but you're also perpetuating his BS and adding to his notoriety. Wouldn't it be great if everyone ignored him? What if "news" organizations, instead of putting singers, rappers (yes, I differentiate them from singers) and actors on camera, why not put people on who were well respected in these matters? Wow... we could actually have a grown up conversation rather than spreading around ridiculous drivel. Idiots like Sharpton would be no more than some poor kid's crazy uncle. Unfortunately I think this is an indicator of the public's maturity level and it is what it is.

I don't think Sharpton was ever interested in a trial. Remember the Bounty posters? Sharpton lives in his own past, he searches for relevance in today's world and appears to yearn for the old days of Jim Crow. It's sick when you think about it. The manipulation of the Black community, particularly of those without much education is a horrible thing to watch. Lives are destroyed by these actions.

Looks like Sharpton believes in the "rule of mob" and not the "rule of law".
